* DeusExMachina: Having previously seen every encounter with a Zodiac Stone end in disaster, [[spoiler: the one Rafa was carrying begins to glow while she mourns the death of her brother, and the player braces for a Zodiac Monster battle... except then a bright light comes from above and resurrects Malak]]. Ramza is forced to reevaluate his opinion of Zodiac Stones yet again. This is right after a [[ThatOneBoss Zodiac Monster]] AND a hellish EscortMission.

* BareFistedMonk: Monks fight unarmed and their damage formula involves squaring their strength score (Most classes use weapon attack to determine damage). This means that every extra point of PA is worth exponentially more. As it's possible to get up to +7 PA (a base score of 13 is standard for high level fighters), the Monk can be [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom capable of one]][[StrongFleshWeakSteel -hitting most]] [[MegatonPunch common enemies]] and maybe [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu even a few bosses]]. And that's ''before'' you give them Dual Wield, which lets them ''wield two punches'' (or better yet, just give a Ninja Martial Arts).

* BelatedHappyEnding: Various item descriptions in ''VagrantStory'' mention the Zodiac Brave Story, naming Agrias, Orlandu and several others as well-known heroes. That means [[spoiler: the Durai report]] from Tactics, containing a true account of what happened during the war, was eventually accepted as historical canon.
